Abstract

For a system of n nonlinear neutral functional differential equations we prove the existence of an n-parameter family of “special solutions” which characterize the asymptotic behavior of all solutions at infinity. For retarded functional differential equations the special solutions used in this paper were introduced by Ryabov.
